The Swiss Heavy Goods Vehicle Fee Ueli Balmer Federal office for spatial Development Switzerland
Transfer to Rail Improve efficiency New Rail Infrastructure Heavy vehicles fee Railway reform The Swiss Policy
Polluter pays Principle Environmental Protection Transfer to Rail Objectives of HVF
Uncovered Costs Compensation annual flat fee Infrastructure 10 mio. € 90 mio. € Health care 260 mio. € Noise 160 mio. € 220 mio. € Damage to buildings 10 mio. €accidents Total 750 Mio € (in 1993)
Calculation of the Rate Total uncovered Costs (750 Mio €) Total Transport Performance 47 (Bio tkm) 750 Mio € Rate = = 1.6 Ct/tkm 47 Bio tkm
Vehicles with admissible Weight > 3.5t For Use of all Roads Performance-related Distance Weight (Vehicle and Trailer) Emissions (Situation since 2009) Euro 0/1/2: 2,0 €Cts/tkm Euro 3: 1,8 €Cts/tkm Euro 4-6: 1.5 €Cts/tkm Design of the Fee
1.1.2001 Introduction HVF (Rate 1.1 Ct/tkm) Replacement of flat Fee (similar Eurovignette) Increase Weight Limit from 28 to 34t 1.1.2005 Raise HVF Rate to 1.6 Ct/tkm Increase Weight Limit to 40t 1.1.2008 Raise HVF to 1.8 Ct/tkm Implementation

Road Transport Business Costs Vehicle Kilometers Transalpine Trips Rail Rail Infrastructure Peripheral regions Environment Effects of the Fee
Adjustments of the Fleet Composition Cleaner = cheaper Lower Weight = Lower Fee Changes in the Haulier Business Concentration due to Better use of Logistics (less empty Trips) Fleet Adaptation can better be realised Employment: stable (14‘000 employees) Impact on Road Transport Business
Impact on Road Transport Business: Employment Employment Old Regime New Regime
Impact on Road Transport Costs: small Fee equal to about 20% of Costs, but Outbalanced by Productivity gains Higher weight limit Less empty trips Impact on final customer price: neglectable Transport Costs: on average only 1-2% of final price Impact on Inflation: Only 0.11% (According to Federal Office for Statistics) Impact on Costs
No significant Shift due to: Rail Share traditionally high Over all 40% In Transalpine Transport 65% Higher weight limit for trucks Pricing is one element among others Reliability Simple Procedures Modern Infrastructure Impact on Rail
Additional costs for peripheral regions25€/Employee (in comparison to others) Additional Charge in SFR per Employee in 2005
System Works well Road Transport has become more efficient Truck traffic has been reduced Environment: Positive Balance Rail: Share maintained - Significant Shift possible only in Context with other Measures Impact on consumer price neglectable (0.11%) Last but not least: No detour traffic!
